The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, have been the focus of recent celestial activity. Despite clouds obstructing the view for many in the eastern U.S. and Canada, stunning images were captured from space. The phenomenon has also been observed over northern Scandinavia. A relatively quiet Sun is expected to become more active, potentially igniting the Northern Lights in the coming days. Additionally, a 'sunspot archipelago' on the Sun has raised concerns about potential solar flares that could impact Earth.
Huge 'sunspot archipelago' 15 times wider than Earth is spotted on the Sun - and scientists warn it could bombard our planet with solar flares capable of causing devastating blackouts https://t.co/J15rZr5mTX
More #AuroraBorealis action overnight! These two views of the #NorthernLights were acquired 24 minutes apart by the #NOAA20 and #NOAA21 satellites which fly half an orbit apart and circle Earth 14 times a day (and night) traveling from pole to pole while Earth rotates below. https://t.co/g7c9037TR2
Possible good news for aurora lovers, our relatively quiet Sun is about to perk up. An active complex of sunspots will rotate to face Earth in the days ahead. These sunspots will be capable of of spewing energy in our direction that could ignite the northern lights. https://t.co/LPkezhITkc
Northern lights action over northern Scandinavia at this hour. Check out the postings by @phi48 as he keeps an eye on web cams in Lapland. #AuroraBorealis. https://t.co/YVZVRIecPq
There was an incredible celestial light display captured from space last night via VIIRS Day Night Band. Meanwhile on Earth clouds blocked the #NorthernLights from below for most in the eastern U.S. and Canada as a massive mid-latitude cyclone moves east toward the I-95 corridor. https://t.co/gFACxjsoSw
